Hello Bristol Birders =20
For the past two evenings I have observed a Great Horned Owl by the old =
golf club house. This beautiful specimen has allowed close range looks =
to myself and family. My daughters were able to get great looks and add =
a life bird to their list!
Last night (8-23-02) we also saw for the first time in the park a group =
of (5) Common Nighthawks flying along the ridge from HWY 126 in =
Blountville. Later, while getting (neck breaking) inconclusive looks at =
what may have been Pine Warblers by the Nature Center a single Common =
Nighthawk gave us the pleasure of a flyover!
I also added a life bird this morning as I finally got close range and =
extended views of the Pine Warbler. I believe I first saw these birds =
just before our BBC mtg. at the Park Conference Room but came just shy =
of getting enough marks on a single bird to feel comfortable in claiming =
a lifer. Also, this morning there was a nice Spotted Sandpiper in winter =
plumage along the beach and a Blue-gray Gnatcatcher by the Nature =
Center.=20
'Til we bird again
